Ticket Information

Event Details

Manchester currently has the highest rate of homelessness in the North of England. We’re at crisis point - something must change.

During next month’s local elections, the housing emergency our city is facing needs to be the number one issue being considered by those running to represent us as our councillors.

Just 28 social homes were built in Manchester last year. But on 2 May, council candidates have a chance to show their support for more, much-needed social homes that will last for generations.

Whether you are renting in Manchester and are sick of paying too much for substandard accommodation, you want to see and end to homelessness in our city, or want to see more social housing built, this is your chance to make your voice heard.

To address this, we’d like to invite you to a hustings with all the major parties in Manchester on Friday 26 April. It will be your chance to hear from – and put questions to – each of the parties’ housing experts.

We’ll be joined by:

Cllr Sue Murphy (Deputy Council Leader) – Labour Party

April Preston – Liberal Democrats

Rob Nunney – Green Party

Stephen Woods – Conservative Party

Our Council has the power to tackle the housing crisis head on, but they’ll only do it if they know it’s something we, the people who live in Manchester, want to see. No one in our city should be stopped from putting down roots – unable to thrive and plan a future for their family.

As voters we need to know that our political leaders are committed to tackling the housing emergency in Manchester. So, come along and put your questions to the panel.
